The Green Pop-Up: Pops Up!

The Green Pop-Up
New life has been brought to Edmonton Green with the arrival of the Green Pop-Up, a vibrant new space for people to meet, spend time and support local businesses.

The construction of this new public space was completed and unveiled on the 19th March 2026. It brings together three new kiosks, along with seating and lighting to create a welcoming environment for the community.

We’re pleased to welcome the three local businesses, who will be opening here soon. As part of the programme, each business will receive mentoring and support to help them grow.

The Green Pop-Up has been delivered with support from the UK Shared Prosperity Fund, building on the success of the Pavilion on The Green which opened in 2024
